Jason Lehmkuhle and Kristen Nicolini Lehmkuhle are this year's Human Race Heroes. Since 2002, the annual Human Race 8K has honored members of the Twin Cities running community with this award. The Lehmkules will be feted at a pre-race party on February 27 at O'Gara's Pub on the corner of Snelling and Selby Avenues in St. Paul. The party, which will also serve as a fundraiser for the Make It Happen Fund, begins at 7:30 p.m.
The Lehmkuhles selected the Jenny Crain Make It Happen Fund as the featured charity for this year's event to help raise funds for Jenny Crain, a Milwaukee-based elite runner who suffered serious injuries when hit by a car while training last August. The fund helps pay for her medical expenses.
Special wristbands will be available at the party for a $5 donation. Posters designed by Jenny's friend and Oregon Olympian Marla Runyan are also being given for a $15 donation. There is no fee to attend the party. The 36th annual St. Patrick's Day Human Race is scheduled for March 16. For a link to the race site, click here.
